Do you need to be level 80 to get the shards from the JP chests?

I believe so.

For me, the most efficient way is to run CoF p1 and HotW each two times. This will give you 60 fragments in roughly 45 min. Then, I’ll see if people are porting others to pirate JP in LA. If so, that’s another 30+ for all my chars for 10min worth of time. So averaging around 60-90 each day with little effort and I’m also getting other useful rewards (gold, tokens, mob drops).

Running around getting open world chests just doesn’t feel efficient nor rewarding enough for me…

Yes.

I can easily obtain almost 100 shards on both my chars by completing all the jump puzzles, even the long ones, and doing chests in open world. Yes, that’s a lot of waypointing, but totally worth it if you invest the time. Takes me about 30-45 minutes per char, while pausing for boss events (and dragonite ore) when necessary.

Memory and speed are key. Get in, get out, on to the next chest. Being skilled at jump puzzles goes without saying. Hope that puts a perspective on it for anyone reading.
Good luck.
